A Full-Screen, character-based monitor

This program uses the API and the curses programming interface to create a screen full of statistics.

Another sample program written to the data-consumer API is the chmon program . Source code to the program is in /usr/samples/perfmgr/chmon.c.file. The chmon program is also stored as an executable during the installation of the Manager component. An example program follows:

The chmon command line is:

chmon[-iseconds_interval][-pno_of_processes][hostname>]

Item	Descriptor
seconds_interval	Is the interval between observations. Must be specified in seconds. No blanks must be entered between the flag and the interval. Defaults to 5 seconds.
no_of_processes	Is the number of “hot” processes to be shown. A process is considered “hotter” the more CPU it uses. No blanks must be entered between the flag and the count field. Defaults to 0 (no) processes.
hostname	Is the host name of the host to be monitored. Default is the local host. The sample program exits after 2,000 observations have been taken, or when you type the letter “q” in its window.
